I must deliver in some Black hole of Advertising. We have NEVER had six D2Ds and average about three, often less than that.

I really sympathise with you guys that are having to deal with that amount. I agree with those that think it was crap deal on the CWUs side! Blame those colleagues of yours that were always moaning about them, I personally never had a problem with them. When were getting approx £20 a week for three D2Ds you could always do other peoples, if you were a Reserve, and get good money. (My record was £80)

The only advantage RM have created is that our Posties that are on delivery only never have to prep any D2Ds and just paid to deliver them.

Actually I have to state that at this moment in time I would not go on strike for HQ and doubt if I ever would (It would have to be an earth shattering reason for me to do so). But then I consider that if there is a Ballot and the result is democratic then I will go on strike, as it won't be a strike for HQ, it will be a strike to protect jobs.

Will I go on strike to protect the BT2010 - Not a chance Would I be glad to see the back of the BT2010 - well it all depends on what they really want to bring in and I would have to see cold hard facts before I defended 2010.

So in brief, I think, along with a others, that the CWU has to decide here and now what it wants us to strike over. Because if they get it wrong the membership will let them know in no uncertain terms.

No.
Everyone who is attached to a delivery function receives the Delivery Supplement.

Well yes, but No.

Office staff within a Delivery Office get the Delivery Supplement - At our place though the DOM support do have small delivery to do before they do the office work. The locker staff and the callers office get it as well, but then I don't begrudge them that both can be stressful jobs that no longer get any allowances to reflect that.

If they are office staff within a HQ they get nowt. If they are office staff within an MC and are OPG grade then I think they get the relevant supplements as well.
